When I was young my friend's family raised sheep. One had triplets. They were named Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.

so like a man....

We used to have a Silver Spangled Hamburg my young kids named Tiny Dalmation. I still love that name!

Now I have a Welsummer named Willa, for Willa Cather and it begins with a W, my daughter has a black Americauna that she loves because she "looks more like a raptor" named Venus, after a character in her book.

Pig- Bc she hogs ALL the food. I used to feed them in a tin dog feeder... http://images02.olx.com/ui/3/67/25/45336225_1.jpg (the larger of the two) and it could only feed about 3 chickens at a time. Well that little fat pig would push everyone out of the way and jump IN the feeder...Blocking everyone's food.

I let my kids name the chickens: Our White Leghorn Rooster is Flair( named after my daughters favorite pro wrestler) Ric Flair.
Our 3 White Leghorn Hens are Miley(after Miley Cyrus) Demi(after Demi Lovato) both Disney channel kid show program stars, & Maria(named after a Brooks & Dunn Country Music song "My Maria")
Our 2 White Rock Hens are Taylor & Miranda( Named after Country Music singers Taylor Swift & Miranda Lambert)
Our 4 Isa Brown Hens are Reba( after Reba McEntire, another Country Music Star) Helen, & Grace the 2 names my Son was able to come up with. How I don't know. The Queen of the Hens is Allicia-She is our best layer whom I named after Channel 7's (Detroit) morning female anchor Alicia Smith. Those are the Hens for now.

4 Hatchery Reds - My daughter named one Friendly's b/c she is so friendly and my daughter likes the restaurant. There are 3 others I think look just like her so I call them all Friendly's.
2 - Maybe leghorn cross - the Pearl sisters... who look alike and have white earlobes that look like pearl earrings.
1 RIR -Big Brown, who laid our first big brown egg.
Our new chicks are:
Black Cutie - BR b/c she's black and cute...duh.
Chicken Little - EE, my son likes that name
Fuzzy Quinn - another EE named for my daughter's friend who wants her own chicken
Tweety - RIR...the other son chose the name.
Bernice - RIR..thought she might have been a Roo and thought maybe Rooster Cogburn or Burnie. Now that we think pullet, Bernice.

That's it!
